hi Just declare a member variable of your propertysheet class in the view class, override OnInitialUpdate, create the member propertysheet as a child. void CMdiView::OnInitialUpdate() { CView::OnInitialUpdate(); CMySheet *m_pMySheet = new CMySheet("foooo"); m_pMySheet->Create(this,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,0); } best wishes..mil10

You are asking without adding MFC support to the application? Any win32 or ATL application you can add MFC by selecting the compiler option, adding afx.h to stdafx.h and then properly initializing MFC. Create a console application with MFC support to see what is needed. John

On Windows: netstat -a This will list all connections and listening ports. As far as opening and closing ports, that depends on what services are running and/or any software running at the time, or software you create that opens its own ports. If you want to make sure things don't go outside your "protected" network, setup a firewall ;) "The greatest danger to humanity is humanity without an open mind."   - Ian Mariano - http://www.ian-space.com/

Yes. Look up InternetConnect in MSDN and all applicable functions. It is quite easy to do.

To remove the button from task bar you can simply hide your window by calling ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);.

You can use SetWindowLong. SetWindowLong(this->m_hWnd,GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(this->m_hWnd,GWL_STYLE) | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX); That code would add the minimize and maximize box. ----- We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
